Bug Description
I recently installed Lubuntu Next 17.10.
I have been using Flashpeak-SlimJet as a browser, but it is not in the repositories,
so I download the .deb file and use gdebi to install it.
The version of gdebi that Lubuntu Next installs is gdebi-kde, presumably because LN uses Qt.
However, as described at:
https:/
gdebi-kde is not usable, and since I needed to install a .deb,
I installed the gtk version, gebi.
That seems to work, until one clicks on "Install", whereupon the window disappears
with no message, never to return...
When run from terminal, the window disappears, but another appears.
This one asks for my password, and when provided one, runs to completion, installing the package.
(I did run it without terminal, and looked amongst my other desktops, thinking that perhaps the
password window was there, but displayed in the wrong desktop, but found nothing.)
It is possible that adding "sudo " to the .desktop file "Exec" would solve the standalone menu invocation, but I am not sure that would help when using the right-click context menu from the desired .deb (and if not, how one would fix that (surely more common) situation).
